Buildings

EnderDucky's House

One of the oldest buildings in Papua New Guinea's history, the house of Mayor EnderDucky17 has 4 floors and an attic; most of them being storage rooms. Outside of EnderDucky's house lies a wheat farm. This house was built during the Lost Age by one of the towns that were founded on New Ireland in between AlexIsBased's two towns. By the time of the founding of the current Papua New Guinea, this house had only an attic and a main floor with no other levels. All the other levels were constructed in recent times by EnderDucky17. Each level serves a purpose and many of them have multiple rooms. Currently the house has 5 floors, with the ground level being the location of the town's spawn.

The sign outside EnderDucky's house (saying 'Some1 Lives Here') was originally placed by an unknown player during the Lost Age and was kept. The sign read 'Any1 Lives Here' until it was griefed at the end of the Conflict Age.

Tower of Wallace

The Tower of Wallace, is directly east of EnderDucky17's house and west of the nation spawn. It was built as a peace offering to the legendary player known as Warrior Wallace. The tower stands as the last remnant of his glory days and all his gold and valuables lie at the bottom of the tower. If a player jumps in the water with full gear into the water below, they will get all of the warrior's possessions.

Fort/kh1zarxD's House

This fort (or castle tower) is located west of the wheat farm outside EnderDucky's house. At its entrance lies a cobblestone generator and two banners, on the right being the flag of Papua New Guinea, and on the left is the Imperial Standard of kh1zarxD. The whole house is 5 floors tall, the 4th floor being made out of cobbled deepslate instead of regular stone. At the top of the tower, there are two flagpoles (both being of Papua New Guinea), as well as a shooting minigame where players must shoot at the target block to get a score out of 14.

Fountain & Railway Station

To the left of EnderDucky's house, near the fountain, lies a stone room with pressure plates at the entrance. When pressed, it opens up a room which is the beginning of the Northern and Southern Lines.

History

1 - Wilderness Age

This age began on the 1st of May 2022 with the creation of the server and ended with the founding of AlexIsBased's first town in Papua New Guinea on the 2nd of March 2023. This was notably the first time the island of New Ireland had a town. After he founded his town, EnderDucky17 logged on in the sever for the first time and was spawned in the Himalayas. He had to run all the way to Papua New Guinea and when he arrived at the town he did not join it and did not log on for another year. Since neither of them were very active on the server, the first town of Papua New Guinea was dismantled by the 42-day inactivity on the 16th of April.

2 - Lost Age

This age began around April 2023 and ended on the 3rd of March 2024 with the establishment of the current state of Papua New Guinea. During this time none of the original two founders (EnderDucky17 and AlexIsBased) logged on. Around this time, in the island of New Ireland, two towns by the names of Sports Territory (August 21 2023 - 13 October) and New Ireland (October 17 2023 - January 2) were founded on the homeland of current Papua New Guinea and fell later on. Additionally another time by the name of Papua New Morgan was founded on New Ireland on the location where the second nether portal is today. This town however also fell on August 4th. After the three towns fell, AlexIsBased returned to EarthMC, followed soon by EnderDucky17, around the beginning of March. They were both townless but luckily spawned on the grounds of the former town and decided to found the town of Papua New Guinea (the town on which this article is about!) on the 3rd of March, 2024, thus ending the Lost Age.

3 - Exploration Age

This age began on the 3rd of March 2024 and ended on the 6th of July with the establishment of Tenjin, a city on New Britain close to Papua New Guinea. During this time period both EnderDucky17 and AlexIsBased were in the town Papua New Guinea and notably did not join any nation. This was a period of exploring the islands nearby and the creations of many structures which still stand today. A lot of stuff was built around the town, most notably the railway running through the entirety of New Ireland that was built by AlexIsBased. Other structures such as the all wooden plank houses including AlexIsBased's wooden house and the 2nd and 3rd levels of EnderDucky17's house were also built. This was also the start of the Oceanic Nether Highway which saw EnderDucky17 building the first connections between nether portals in the form of the cobble hallways which connected all the nether portals of the Bismarck Islands. This is also the period of time that the map of New Ireland and surrounding regions in EnderDucky17's house dates back to.

4 - Conflict Age

This age began on the 6th of July and ended around the 22nd of October 2024. Tenjin was founded on the 6th of July, and previously, the people of Papua New Guinea were the only people on both islands, with the exception of the town of Sasa (a.k.a. New Hanover, an island on the western edge on New Ireland, 29 April-27 July 2024). Tenjin wanted Papua New Guinea to disestablish their town and leave but the owners of Papua New Guinea refused to let go of their land. As Tenjin began expanding on their island of New Britain, many people began joining Tenjin, while Papua New Guinea did not search for any new members. The leaders of Papua New Guinea got worried that they might get overrun by Tenjin, so they set up the Trap House (today called the Tower of Wallace) to defend themselves if people started trying to attack them.

Melanesia also founded a new town, Acorn, right on the border between Papua New Guinea and Tenjin. Acorn took up almost all of the southern mountain and New Britain portion of what is now Papua New Guinea land. This prompted Papua New Guinea to join their first nation (The Solomon Republic) to secure themselves a little protection. Papua New Guinea then changed nations to New Guinea for a couple of days before finally settling on joining NA due to their large nation bonus.

The end of the Conflict age was marked by a few events that coincidentally happened in the span of a few days that forced Papua New Guinea to make drastic changes. The first change was that due to Acorn switching mayors constantly, some of the mayors had never even set foot in the town they were controlling which caused the town to collapse on October 22nd. Papua New Guinea immediately claimed all of the former Acorn land which was now heavily flattened out due to Acorn presence. The other major event that happened was that on October 27th due to the ongoing wars in Australia, the nation of NA fell and they had to switch their capital to another location. This was a huge blow to Papua New Guinea because they were now out of range to join NA and were at risk of getting overclaimed due to the land they had gained from the fall of Acorn. This prompted Papua New Guinea to join the recently created nation of Queensland on October 28th which were friendly towards the people of Papua New Guinea.

5 - Modern Age

This age is anything after 22 October and most buildings that are in Papua New Guinea were built after this point.

After Papua New Guinea joined the nation of Queensland the town had the goal of expanding and controlling all of New Ireland. To accomplish this goal they needed to recruit more residents since the nation bonus also got decreased. On October 26th, the first resident joined the town, marking it the first time in the town's history that there were active residents in the town other than AlexIsBased and EnderDucky17. Soon after more people joined the town. This was the first time in the history of the island that there were more than 5 total residents on the island at the same time. However on November 13th, due to a simple mistake of the leader of Queensland, the capital town was accidently deleted and the new capital of the nation was out of range for Papua New Guinea to be a part of Queensland anymore. This prompted Papua New Guinea to have to search for new nations to join and in the span of a week the town joined 3 different nations. From November 14th to November 18th, Papua New Guinea was part of the nation Melanesia. Then from November 19th-21st the town joined Papua. And then from November 22nd onwards the town joined the nation of the Mariana Trench which only had one town that was soon to be deleted. On November 23rd, with the deletion of the town "Challenger Deep", Papua New Guinea officially became a nation capital.
